Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) is a secure and seamless bridge between your existing IT infrastructure and the Amazon Web Services cloud. Amazon VPC enables you to connect your existing infrastructure to a set of isolated AWS compute resources via a virtual private network (VPN) connection. With Amazon VPC, you can extend your existing management capabilities and security services such as DNS, LDAP, Active Directory, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to include your AWS resources, and protect the information there the same way you do now. Amazon VPC integrates today with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), and Amazon CloudWatch; it will integrate with other AWS services in the future. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no long-term contracts, minimum spend, or up-front investments required.
